Xeon E5-2665 vs Ryzen 5 7640HS benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2665 beats the Ryzen 5 7640HS in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2665 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7640HS that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640HS. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2665. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640HS outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2665 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2665 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
